same, and the object of my invention is to produce a Wrapping paperbearing a mark somewhat resembling a' Water 'mark, but which can beeasilyseen under all conditions of transmitted and reflected light.

Water marks are putupon ordinary paper during the processof manufactureand before the paper is finished. In many cases these water marks are sofaint that they can scarcely be seen except by transmitted light, as,for example, when the paper is held up in front of'a window. By myinvention,

however, a paper is produced ,kwhich is clearly marked and which ma canbe reflected light as well as readily seen by transmitted light.

My invention is especially applicable to high grades of wrapping paper.Many first class concerns will not use a printed or stamped paper atall, because the printed inscription or stamp causes the paper to seemcommonplace and objectionable. Such concerns, therefore, use nothing butplain paper. The marked paper produced by my process however, isentirely free from this objection In carrying out my process, I takehigh grade wrap-ping paper as it is delivered to purchasers and run itthrough a printing press of any desired type. The marking material usedis of a somewhat greasy nature, and as the paper is run through thepress there is produced a distinct mark, which when viewed bytransmitted light closely resembles a water mark, but which is even moreclearly visible by reflected light.

The marking fluid which I use has the following composition:

. 29 lbs. hydrate alumina 27 #0 linseed oil varnish 30 new base (white)petrolatum painters boiled oil apan drier oz. dense litho job black ink2 Valvet green ink 1 lb. paraifin.

From this it will be seen that the small quantity'of paraffin,petrolatum, and boiled oil, has a tendency to make the portion of thepaper that is struck by the type trans, parent, while the very smallquantities of coloring matter in combination therewith produce a clearlyvisible mark.

I claim: f

The pa'ocess of making marked paper,

' which consists in passing manufactured paper througha press andimpressing thereon a mark clearly visible, both by transmitted andreflected light, by means of a marking fluid of a greasy nature,containing a very small proportion of coloring matter, substantially asdescribed.

In testimony whereof, I aflix my signa-,
